There is no such thing as an illegal egg
In the US? Kinder Surprise!
There is one impostor among us
No chicken is illeggal
I don’t get it? Is this some sort of joke?
The eggs are illegal because they are transported illegally across the border.Sounds like eggs have more rights than people in America
Sorry, “unfertilized poultry embryos experiencing undocumented status”.
Why does the US have high egg prices, but Canada and Mexico do not?
The eggs are woke
Damn transgenic eggs
*yolk
Didn’t you get the memo? Woke is out, DEI is in
Those eggs were DEI hires!!
Actual answer?
Canadian egg farms have tens of thousands of chickens on average, and there’s a lot of separate farms.
US egg farms have millions, and there are fewer total farms.
If a single bird gets infected with avian flu the whole flock needs to be culled. Bigger flocks are both more likely to catch it, and more birds affected when it happens.
But also the cartel thing.
And the gov is apparently “protecting” us from solving this ourselves with black market eggs. Bootleggs?
There is also a massive chicken cartel in the US which dictates the laws so small farmers cannot abide by all the nitpicking rules.
As I understand, this is also why bird flu took longer to spread on the west coast
Because there is a big bird flu in USA and it is being mismanaged by a government of idiots who rather insult every one.
No, that is not the issue anymore and has not been for a while. Last time, to stop this, the government had to threaten with anti cartel actions - the prices were suddenly down again.
What do the cartels have to do with eggs?
There is not enough competition.
capitalism.
You’ld be surprised how scarce something like eggs can get in a state-run economy, too…
Or sugar. Or gasoline. Or butter. Or meat. Or passports.
